Niagara Bottling is issuing a voluntary recall due to concerns that one of its spring sources is
contaminated with E. coli.
E. coli bacteria were found in the water supply on June 10, 2015. These bacteria can make you sick,
and are a particular concern for people with weakened immune systems.
What should I do?
DO NOT DRINK THE AFFECTED WATER WITHOUT BOILING IT FIRST OR USE OTHER
BOTTLED WATER. Bring all affected water to a boil, let it boil for one minute, and let it cool before
using, or use bottled water. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water.
E. coli are bacteria whose presence indicates that the water may be contaminated with human or
animal wastes. Microbes in these wastes can cause diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches, or other
symptoms. They may pose a special health risk for infants, young children, some of the elderly and
people with severely compromised immune systems.
The symptoms above are not caused only by organisms in drinking water. If you experience any of
these symptoms and they persist, you may want to seek medical advice. People at increased risk
should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers.
What happened? What is being done?
One of Niagara’s spring sources had a positive indication of E. coli. We have not received any
complaints of injury or illness of any kind. As the spring source did not notify us in a timely manner,
we have discontinued the use of this source.
Out of an abundance of caution and in the strict interest of public safety, Niagara Bottling, LLC is
issuing a voluntary recall for all spring water products produced at both the Hamburg, PA and
Allentown, PA facilities from the time frame of 3am (EDT) June 10th to 8pm (EDT) June 18, 2015.

To determine if your product is affected, please reference the following information on the code,
